One week today I will be getting on a plane and heading towards Europe. I feel utterly and dangerously unprepared.. I need to clean up my room for Rhi to move in. I need to decide what to take and what to leave. I need to find out how heavy my luggage can be. Do I change money into Euros before I go? How do I do that? Should I really take a sleeping bag? It's so big! When will my citi bank visa card thing arrive? How will I get from the airport to Kylie's house? Where do I buy train tickets? Did I pay too much for insurance? Should I get a simcard for my phone while I am over there? What if I get stuck without internet access? Should I take my guitar? What if it gets damaged? And my camera? Should I take both lenses or just one? Just how cold will it be over there? Should I bring gloves? Do I have enough money? etc etc etc...

I guess part of the definition of 'Adventure' must include it all being scary and risky. But also FUN!

That is pretty much EXACTLY how I was feeling before I went! And it's almost exactly a year ago now! :-( :-)

My advice, change about $25 to euros at the airport before you leave, it may be helpful to have some cash on hand at the airport, or for a taxi or whatever (maybe more cash?!!). Also, if you've got a stop over anywhere, maybs some of that currency as well? (It was super helpful to be able to buy food during our 7 hour stay in the airport in Hong Kong, because the exchange thingy had closed when we got there).
